  • Cradle Our Chromebooks

    Funded Mar 27, 2018

    Students are so excited to be able to use the protective sleeves with their devices. They feel like professionals bringing their Chromebooks to school, to church, to study groups, and of course to coffee shops. They are envisioning themselves as scholars who care for their tools, and you made that happen!

    Anxiety is lowered for students who worry about breaking their device and not being able to use it. Students have told me that they feel better about their ability to keep their device safe. Now they can spend more time creating, learning and explaining.

    One student, Cecilia, was so excited about the opportunity to take home the Chromebook. In the past she had struggled trying to complete assignments on a phone. You enabled Cecila, who is also the fastest 7th grade runner, to complete her homework faster too. Your donation meant that she and many others have access to a computer when they need it.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Burman

  • Learn With Worms

    Funded Feb 24, 2012

    We are timing, magnifying, and worming in room 17. You would not believe the looks on some of the students' faces as they held worms in their hands and observed their movement. Not only did you give our class it's first pet, but you have inspired some great questions. One example that a student wrote was" Pretend you are a scientist, what methods would you use to determine the role of worms in the garden." I now have more flexibility to empower students to design their own labs, check out materials and use tools to make observations.

    This donation has made a huge difference to my classroom and our science team.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Burman
